The episode discusses the experiences of the hosts and guests during the Welsh Castles Relay, focusing on the iconic Drovers leg and the challenges faced during the race.

This week we are a man down, with Niki off on a trip around Italy in a Fiat500! But we have loaded up on guests, and Gareth is joined by the first three up the hill of arguably the most iconic leg of the Welsh Castles Relay - Drovers. Join us as we look back over a long weekend of relay racing through Wales, and that big bloody climb. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
